Summary The main objective of this research is based on the importance of wholesale markets as special market institutions in trade in agro-industrial products. Based on communication knowledge about the retail market operations (wholesale gross markets), on the domestic market, as well as the importance given to wholesale markets in the developed countries from the aspect of trade, it is concluded that even domestic trade can increase selling these type of products at wholesale markets. The subject of research of this paper is concept of building wholesale markets as a substitute for retail trade (quantitative or wholesale gross markets) for agro-industrial products. This paper aims to achieve such a level of knowledge that will enable making quality decisions starting fromthe interests of businesses, traders and customers (consumers).

“…Once best practices have been identified, companies encounter some difficulties regarding the collection of information that will make its transfer possible [30]. Industry requires support both in identifying the most appropriate 'best practice' to meet its particular requirements and in understanding how the appropriate 'best practice' may be transferred.…”

Capturing and reusing knowledge of best practices has been identified as one of the requirements for next-generation product development. Knowledge identification is therefore already being done to some degree in many organizations, through instruction manuals or 'how to' guidelines. However, this is only a first step, as to fully exploit valuable knowledge, best practices must be identified and shared. A detailed review of previous research in best practice knowledge management shows that the method of modelling best practice knowledge and the resulting model structure are critically important for the successful reuse of best practice knowledge. Yet, to date, only limited research has been focused on these aspects. This paper therefore presents research into a methodology to determine ways for better communication, sharing, and reuse of best/good practice knowledge. The proposed methodology has been divided into two parts: firstly, the identification of best practices for product development, and secondly, the structuring of best practice knowledge for effective sharing and reuse. This methodology encourages the adoption of best practices by providing knowledge about both process and implementation elements. This makes the explicit knowledge easier to find and reuse. Once a best practice is found to suit current requirements and circumstances, an expert who has identified and used the best practice can also be contacted to gain additional knowledge/information. This helps to address the challenges posed by 'tacit' knowledge, which cannot easily be shared within the knowledge base.

“…Kadash and Al Ahomari (2013) found in their study that the practice of performance benchmarking in private firms in Saudi Arabia was better than public organizations and there was no significant difference between companies based on their sizes. Maire et al, (2005) also found that benchmarking was so popular in French companies, 50 percent of 1000 companies used benchmarking regularly and 80 percent of them suggested that benchmarking is an effective tool of change.…”

The study aims to know the extent of applying strategic management accounting tools in Jordanian banks. To analyze the responses of the respondents (employees) in these banks, and the effect of the employees' demographic characteristics on perceiving the importance of applying these tools of decision making, the researcher used descriptive and analytical statistics, such as one sample T-test and one way ANOVA.In this study the researcher has found that Jordanian banks use traditional management accounting; they don't use strategic management accounting and its tools.It is recommended that Jordanian banks train their employees in using strategic management accounting tools, that are based on the findings of this study to improve overall strategic performance.
